How sea Captains Get Rich.

IL is often source Of wonder how
so many ship captains amass large
fortunes, build palatial residences and
settle down, after life Of hardship
and exposure, as the seers and proph-
cts OF their native villages. To be
sure, since the days of high freights
OF the East India trade, when vessel
frequently paid for herself in one voy-
age, fewer opportunities are offered TO
owners and captains TO accumulate
fortunes with the rapidity OF former
days.
Still there are methods by which the
crafty commander Of the ship is en-
abled to pick up few stray dollars.
The law provides that the captain OF
every ship shall provide "slop chest"
containing boots, oil skins, socks, un-
derclothing, ETC., TO be sold 10 the
sailors, including goodly supply OF
tobacco. The law also provides that
the profits of the captain from the
sales shall be limited to 10 per cent.
This, however, Is rarely enforced, and
the captain disposes of tobacco that
costs thirty cents per pound for sew
enty-hve cents, 81, and often $3.50.
The other contents OF the slop chest
are also doled out TO the sailors, with
whom IL is a case of Hobson's choice,
with enormous profits TO the captain.
Captains, also, have peculiar fond
ness for commissions, and when lying
ut port the butcher. the ship chand-
Ter, and the bumboatman all willingly
agree to pay over certain percentage
OF the money received from the ship
for the sake of obtaining the trade.
Money has to be hired 10 meet the
bills; and here. too, the inevitable COM
mission jingles In the pockets OF the
master OF the ship. ut sea an autocrat,
on shore an object OF adulation.
Vessels In distress are often obliged
70 hire large sums of money to meet
the expenses OF repairing. and part Of
the interest paid and the large bonuses
OF the advances find their way into the
ever-open pocket of the shrewd and
crafty marinet.
As an illustration, tho writer was on
board ship. the second mate of which
was 10 be discharged at a foreign port.
the captain IN making up the accounts.
IthuI W 10 uuuniltttA w ttt1 ttttohAf
found that he had been charging the
mate seventy cents per pound for to-
bacco. "Those fellows on shore will
get all his money anyhow, said he,
.'and / reckon | might as well have
part of It." Accordingly tobacco was
entered In the bill at 81 per pound. and
the other items OF the account were In
creased In like proportion.
From this short account IL Will be
seen that captains still have opportun-
tiles TO make little money "on the
outsider" the amounts made by some by
smuggling soon enable them TO retire
from the sea and live life OF ease and
comfort.
Their life Is a hard one, and II must
be remembered that many do not en-
ploy any OF the methods described
above; but still the writer feels justi-
fled in saying from experience that
the majority OF sea captains are ION
